Actor Krishnakumar's daughter, social media influencer Diya Krishnakumar is at the center of a growing controversy after one of her former employees, accused of financial fraud, leveled personal allegations against her husband, Aswin.
'Aswin would call me at 2 am…'
In a video the ex-staffer claimed that Aswin would call her at odd hours—particularly at 2 am—under the pretext of work, and that his tone and behavior felt flirtatious.
'Aswin would call me at 2 am and ask if we had completed packing the material. I found his mannerisms flirtatious,' the woman alleged in the clip, sparking social media chatter and debate.
Diya reacts sarcastically - 'Why would he do that?'
Diya took to Instagram to sarcastically respond to the claims, indirectly questioning the motive behind the viral video.
Diya's sarcastic comment read, 'He gets biriyani at home, then why would he do that.?' Actress Swasika also responded by commenting, 'Waiting for the day when they are taken to jail.')
Several actors from the Malayalam entertainment industry, including, Sona Nair, and Veena Nair, have come out in strong support of Diya. They condemned the former employee's statements, calling them baseless and defamatory, and demanded action against her for attempting to divert attention from the ongoing financial fraud investigation.

Fraud allegation details: Rs 66 lakh missing
The controversy began when Diya filed a police complaint against three former female employees of her boutique store.
As reported by On Manorama, according to the FIR, the trio allegedly replaced the store's official QR code with their ones, drawing over Rs 66 lakh within a year.
The fraud came to light when a customer noticed inconsistencies in the store's billing and reported it to Diya. Following the complaint, the accused women retaliated by accusing Diya and her family of mistreatment and caste-based discrimination—claims that remain unproven.

Fake Flight Attendant Fools US Airlines For 120 Free Flights Over Six Years
A US man who fraudulently posed as a flight attendant for six years and managed to book over 120 free flights has been convicted by a federal jury. The man, identified as 35-year-old Tiron Alexander, availed the free flights between 2018 and 2024 across multiple major US airlines, according to the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida. Alexander accessed the websites reserved for flight crew to book the free flights using employee benefits. Free flights for crew members are a longstanding industry perk, also known as non-revenue travel. The indictment revealed that although Alexander worked for an airline since November 2015, he was never a flight attendant or a pilot. He is now being charged with wire fraud and entering into a secure area of an airport by false pretences. The carriers named in court documents include American Airlines, Spirit Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines. He flew 34 flights on one airline by pretending to be a flight attendant or staff member by using 30 different badge numbers and dates of hire to book his no-cost flights. "The evidence at trial also showed that Alexander posed as a flight attendant on three other airline carriers. Ultimately, Alexander booked more than 120 free flights by falsely claiming to be a flight attendant," read a statement by the US attorney's office. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) released a statement, stating it was pleased with the verdict. "While Alexander was able to board flights by fraudulently obtaining a boarding pass, he underwent all applicable TSA security procedures, including ID verification and physical screening, and did not pose a threat to other airline passengers," the TSA said. "TSA remains dedicated to the security of the flying public and will continue to support the prosecution of those who break air travel laws." The maximum sentence for wire fraud is 20 years in prison, and 10 years for entering the secure airport areas under false pretences. Both charges carry a maximum of three years of supervised release and a Rs 2.15 crore ($250,000) fine.

How can you expect UIDAI to match fingerprints of 100 crore people?: Madras HC ridicules petition
The Madras High Court on Thursday questioned how Tamil Nadu police could expect the Unique Identification Authority of India ( UIDAI ) to compare the fingerprints of an unclaimed body with the Aadhaar data of over 100 crore people to ascertain the identity of the dead. During the hearing, Justice P. Velmurugan said it was 'ridiculous' on the part of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Tindivanam Sub Division, Villupuram district, to have filed a petition seeking a direction to the UIDAI to provide the demographic details of an unidentified body using its fingerprints. 'Our country has a population of 1.4 billion. Assuming 1 billion people had enrolled for Aadhaar so far, do you expect UIDAI to obtain fingerprints of dead bodies, in every unsolved criminal case, and compare them with the biometric data pertaining to 100 crore people?' the judge asked. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dukung Orang Terkasih Menghadapi Limfoma: Mulai Di Sini Limfoma Klik Di Sini Undo He further said that the police should not waste time bringing up such matters with the UIDAI just because they were unable to make a breakthrough in criminal cases involving unknown bodies. "Aadhaar is not the only way to solve a crime, there were other means of investigation too," he said. The petition filed by the DSP was dismissed after Additional Solicitor General AR.L. Sundaresan, assisted by Central government senior panel counsel K. Srinivasamurthy, said, it would be impossible to compare the fingerprints of the dead with the Aadhaar database and provide demographic information to the police. Live Events The defendant told the court that the UIDAI would be able to do only a one-to-one match, which means it could take the fingerprints and iris scan of an individual holding a valid 12-digit Aadhaar number and find out whether they match with his/her core biometric data obtained while enrolling for Aadhaar.
